He looks in great fettle so I'll guess around 16 lbs.

 

Were you pre-baiting for tench or bream ?

Hoping to pre-bait a good swim for bream on a local river either this week or next week myself.

 

Let us know how you got on.

Tench going to give them a go this evening seems to be hold a good head of them. She was in brilliant nick and put up some scrap

I'll go on the higher side and say 18lb + . I thought there was a formula for length so I found this on the net.

Well done any way.

This evening should be perfect for tench on a canal. No sun and after the rain a bit of colour.

Good luck.

hi neil only got to fish for about 2 hours this evening had 1 decent tench about 3pound and a dozen or or more roach and skimmers. There was a few tench about so hopefully I can keep the swim going till I get a good session at them, hard to get time with work and building a house tho
